Don’t bother B, blocked you.
Never will attack you....but I'm suggesting you understand that, in some cases, it's ok to hire people that haven't been around college athletics a lot or at all. The person can fit the job description without collegiate experience. Especially when it comes to academics.Quote:

If this is indeed a primarily academic position working to keep athletes on schedule, then I can see where someone with teaching experience might be a good fit.
From what I can gather, this is a staff position and not one where the person will generate much publicity or even have contact with the public. Experience and goodness of fit are the primary requisites.
If we all step back and take a deep breath I think we will see it as not as bad as it seams. So far what mike has done with on field and S&C coaches have been great. The kid he pulled from Ole Miss recruiting dept appears to be a solid hire. Only 6 kids in this new age of NIL and transfer portal. Relax everyone all is good on Reinhardt Dr.Quote:

Jay, covcaj and Nilly…Thank you gentlemen for the civil discussion. I have faith in CMD since Maggard and T-Joe do. May have had a moment of CDS/we’re USLing again. Everyone knew the day was coming, and the uncertainty has made for crazy days here. It just happened to be my turn.
We’ll know how all this shakes out by next December. Now to work on patience…
God bless…ZZ
Just step back and take deep breath. Things will get better.Quote:

I believe on-field staff is done, assuming no attrition. Morgan coming in as DC may want some different personnel.Quote:

That is about the size of it. The RPCA is vetting every hire. Maybe they figured Desomeaux should have hired some washed up muscle head coach to tend to academics (HUD comes to mind) Surely don't hire someone involved in the pursuit of education. Some of you guys need to step away from the ledge.Quote:
